a German in America and an American in Germany

Whenever I am in the US I feel more German than when I am in Germany. I feel more American in Germany.


While being an english speaker in Germany is nothing special, being bilingual in America is seen as very advantageous.


Race in America and Germany work a bit differently. I feel as though I am seen as black by white people in America, versus biracial in Germany.
